The Lost City of the Tol'vir is the stronghold of the Neferset, a faction of the cat-like tol'vir who swore fealty to Deathwing in exchange for a cure to the curse of flesh, which had turned their rocky hides to soft skin. With the affliction expunged, the tol'vir have rebelled against their benefactor, although they remain irrevocably twisted and hostile due to the dark pact that they made.
